Capital Improvement Plan
Introduction
A. Scope
The Capital Improvement Plan represents an annually updated schedule of prospective capital expenditures for major public facilities and infrastructure such as buildings, transportation, and recreational needs. It provides estimated capital costs, sources of funding and timing of work during a five‐year period.
Funding Sourcesiv
Summaryiv
The Capital Improvement Plan encourages the City to forecast not only what expenditures they intend to make, but also to identify potential funding sources to more properly plan for the acquisition of the asset. Upon adoption of the Plan, the first year of the proposed CIP becomes the list of capital items that are scheduled for that budget year.
The program is then updated and revised on an annual basis to ensure previous projections are still on course. In so doing, the City is always working on a prospective five‐year schedule.
The CIP is designed to be a flexible planning tool. Despite its independence from the development of the operating budget, the CIP does not merely represent a wish list of items without regard to the fiscal constraints that will face the City Commission when the time comes to fund the previously identified needs. Rather, all projects proposed for funding in the CIP are prioritized and include projections of revenues that are expected to be available at the time of any expenditure. If sufficient funds do not become available to pay for CIP projects, the document provides flexibility for the Commission to re‐prioritize expenditures and project scheduling.
B. Items Included in the CIP
The City of Fort Pierce includes any project that has a life expectancy of at least ten‐years and a minimum threshold of $50,000 into the CIP. In some cases, we may include an item in the proposed plan that is not tangible. Those items, while not generally considered to be traditional capital items, are sometimes included because they represent a significant, inordinate expenditure on the part of the City.
Projects are solicited from the department heads and brought before the City Commission in a workshop style format to determine project eligibility, necessity, and priority.
C. Project Cost
Project cost estimates are far more detailed and accurate for those items that are scheduled for funding in an earlier fiscal year. The closer it becomes to undertaking a particular project, it becomes increasingly important to have a more accurate picture of the total project costs. Conversely, projects scheduled for later years are likely to change in scope, acquisition costs will fluctuate, and construction costs will vary, therefore less emphasis is placed on the accuracy of the cost figures associated with those projects.
D. Funding Sources
The City is fiscally prudent in exploring all avenues of funding sources for their capital improvement projects. Following is a listing of all funding sources utilized within this CIP and the abbreviations used.
Name / Funding Entity
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (US Federal)
Community Development Block Grant ‐ (Disaster Funds) ‐ Grant US Housing and Urban Development
City of Fort Pierce – General Fund Account
FDOT ‐ Congestion Management Funds (Florida Department of Transportation)
Florida Communtiy Trust Grant (Florida Department of Community Affairs)
FDEP319 and TMDL Grants (Florida Department of Environmental Protection)
FDOT ‐ Joint Project Agreement (Florida Department of Transportation)
Federal Emergency Management Agency (US Disaster Funding)
Federal Highway Administration (US ‐ Transportation)
Florida Inland Navigational District (FIND ‐ Special State Taxing District)
Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (City of Fort Pierce CRA ‐ Special Taxing District)
E. Summary
The CIP is an accumulation of necessities, desires, and dreams for the betterment of our community. It is essential to prioritize our capital projects to compete with the stiffening allocation of public resources. The year in which a project is scheduled to be undertaken is not necessarily indicative of its relative importance to the community. Scheduling of projects is done in accordance with relative need, coordination with other projects, and the availability of appropriate funding. As with any dynamic environment, it is expected that the plan and budget decisions will evolve, as priorities and needs shift and more specific capital project information becomes available.

T-1 Street Resurfacing (Citywide) - Annual
Project Description
An alarming high percentage of the City's streets need resurfacing and unfortunately several have reached the point of requiring total reconstruction. The amount of work varies widely between the 56 maintenance sections of the City. Several sections of the City have been resurfaced in the past ten years and require little or no improvements. While other sections of the City have not been resurfaced in the past twenty years and require a substantial amount of work. A street condition report is maintained by the Engineering Department which lists the condition and the estimated cost of improvements.
Project Length: More than 29 miles of roadway are in "poor" condition.
